OP probably assumes it’s impossible that a black person might have been born in Scotland in 1820 despite the Atlantic slave trade being in full swing for centuries by that point making this entirely feasible.
Feasible? Sure. Pick 2 people randomly during that time? Unlikely. I have nothing against diversity. And I have nothing against an AI being encouraged to produce diverse outputs. I do think it’s a clear indicator of the internal prompts that guide the AIs choices.
I mean, sure. But it’s not like that’s the only bias. What are the chances it was going to pick two attractive, seemingly well to do people and not two plain farmers or shepherds or something like that? Or people of very different ages or different heights, etc.
It’s not choosing entirey randomly but it isn’t showing us anything that couldn’t have possibly existed.

No it’s showing us anything the creators of the AI want us to see. It won’t generate ugly people because the creators used much more attractive people to train the AI. Also, you won’t see what your typical Scot looked like in the 1820s, because the creators made the AI change the prompt to add diversity.
You guide the output to influence it.
Like making it “diverse” (include a black person), a person being attractive and free of blemishes unless instructed, a person being a specific age like 20-30 unless instructed.
In 1778, Court of Session judges ruled that slavery was incompatible with Scots Law. This ruling meant Knight could not be made to carry out tasks for Wedderburn or be taken back to Jamaica against his will.
The frustration that we feel over bigotry can be expressed in so many ways. We don’t need to rely on ableist slurs. Alternative phrases are more descriptive, and more accurate; unintelligence is not the prevailing problem with right wing extremists, for instance, nor is it the cause of their actions. Ignorance, prejudice, and disregard for the rights of others are.
Conflating harmful actions with lack of intelligence does everyone a disservice. To suggest that “stupidity” that is what makes people act badly undermines any real accountability. The causes of problematic behavior rarely have anything to do with mental acuity, and we can’t properly address harmful behavior while being so reductive about its causes. Carelessness, bias, hatred, greed, closed-mindedness, indifference – these are the traits that lead to oppression. Our intelligence is not the issue so much as our sense of compassion and justice.
Apparently the National Library of Scotland has caved to the woke liberal agenda of acknowledging that black people exist and your post deserves to be downvoted!

It’s pretty clear that it’s not picking two randomly
The prompt wasn’t to generate two equally statistically likely people or something. It was: show me two people. The AI did just that.
Random is implicit in that statement.
The AI did that. Because of a guided output.
What does “guided output” mean in this context?
You guide the output to influence it.
Like making it “diverse” (include a black person), a person being attractive and free of blemishes unless instructed, a person being a specific age like 20-30 unless instructed.
That are just a few examples what I meant.
That does not appear to be what’s happening in that image.
Awesome. Knight is a hero.
OP would have to be pretty stupid if that’s the case.
It looks like they made their account just to post this. They made an account just to tell others they’re a moron.
Damn
